Soil–cement isSoil-cement blocks an important construction material whose use has received increasing attention in recent years, emerging as an ecologically more sustainable alternative, mainly for use in social housing. The present study aimed to evaluate units, prisms and small walls of soil–cement bricks using metakaolinMetakaolin as a partial substitute for Portland cement, evaluating the technological and mechanical propertiesMechanical properties, with experimental and numerical modeling via ANSYS. The mechanical characterizationCharacterization of the blocks, prisms and small walls with dry joints included static analysis under simple compression and analysis of the seismic response through cyclic testsCyclic tests on walls. The parametric analysis and calibration of numerical models of static compression tests and cyclic testsCyclic tests highlighted the importance of micromodeling to obtain accurate predictions of the experimental capacity curve. These models adequately replicated the damage concentration in the joints between the blocks, corroborating the experimental results.
